How to Kill Tapeworms in Cats & Humans
Tapeworms are a type of roundworm that an affect any warm-blooded creature, including humans and cats. These worms attach to the side of the intestines and feed on the nutrition that comes past. Although a tapeworm can pass unnoticed in some people, others have serious complications, such as nausea, diarrhea, cramping, pain and rectal itching. If you think you have a tapeworm, change your diet to get rid of it without any toxins, and treat any cats in the household to prevent reinfection.

1
Get rid of your tapeworms first. Although many anti-parasitics exist to eliminate tapeworms, they are highly toxic and can damage your health. Change your diet instead, and spend a week eating foods that are toxic to the tapeworm for an all-natural answer. Chew papaya and pumpkin seeds throughout the day and eat plenty of organic yogurt. Add pepsin or glycerin to hot water and drink it before each meal. Take two garlic capsules a day.
